Tysers is spearheading the call for government aid, alongside other insurance industry supporters. Tim explains:

“As coverage is not currently available from the commercial insurance market, we need the Treasury to work with all elements of the insurance sector as a matter of urgency to plan how to bridge the insurance gap for Covid cancellation and support the UK’s live entertainment industries.”
